It's a nice little rig. I have skidder chains on it right now. Pretty tough tractor. I've had it split in half once to rebuild the hydraulics, have to do the trans and motor at some point. Plus this one has a sherman transmission, it will do over 30mph, it's pretty scary at that speed.

I use cen-pe-co 15/40 para-synthitic. It will make a world of difference on weather it will start or not on the cold days. This year I am going to try the Rotella 15/40 para-synthic. Buddy runs it in his Cummins and loves it.

Thanks, Grampy bought that one new in '56. I'm the second owner of that one. I am running 8.3-24 R-1 ags for tires should be 9.?-24. I haven't had any issues with tracking. I wonder if there a little to long (worn in)?? What size tires are you running and how wide is the track 13" or more? Also wonder if something isn't worn on your boogies?

The rears are 11.2 x 28, the standard 8N tires, but they are two different manufactures, both tires are pretty much new, both have an R1 pattern, but the spacing is a little different. Some people think all R1s are the same, but that's not the case.

I can watch the little tabs on the underside of the tracks ride up on the treads and then it starts to track off, i know it sounds weird.

Nothing is really warn on the boogies, the boogy tires are a little warn but not bad, I just think the tracks don't like the spacing of my R1 pattern.

If you want I have the complete ARP track manual in PDF form, PM me your email address and I can send it to you if you would like.

I'm Dave from Franklin,Me. Born and raised the next town over Eastbrook. I have an '08 550 with a 5-yrd dump with the 6.4 . I've only got 3300 miles so far, I'll change the oil at 5K with Delvac 1300 non-syn and at 10K I'll be switching to full syn. Delvac 1 by Mobil. I think it's the best oil to use, I run it in all of my other diesels (2-tractors and a power unit) and have never had a problem. All of the Construction companies around here with Heavy equipment run Delvac 1 at least in the winter for easy starts and less engine wear.
